1. Katie's Story - Medical Denial
   Story by Mary


1. Katie received the DPT-Polio vaccination in August 1983. Within 48 hours I noticed that she fell into a very deep sleep. I was not alarmed as it was a very hot, humid summer. Since we did not have air conditioning in our home, I thought that perhaps the heat was affecting her and that was the reason that she slept so much. Katie would wake up to nurse, but her sucking was weaker and she nursed for a shorter period of time before falling into a deep sleep again.

3. Story by: Stacy Moon


1. Six hours after receiving her 3rd dose at Penticton Health Unit, the teenager began to feel tingling in the fingertips of her right hand. Within a few days, numbness had spread up her arm; she couldn't hold a pen or glass or even open a door. By the 3rd week following the shot, Stacy was numb from her toes to her ribs, couldn't hold her balance and found it difficult to walk. In the following few months visits to her doctor, neurologists and Vancouver for an MRI scan resulted in the diagnosis…multiple sclerosis, MS!

5. Vaccine Brain Damage
   Story by: Lucia Morgan


1. It's been nearly three years since I became chronically ill. I can tell you the day and the hour it began. It was shortly after I received my second hepatitis B shot. I had recently completed a master's degree. Six months after the shot, I could barely read.

6. Kirk's Story - Collateral Damage
   Story by: Scott Hunter


1. Our son Kirk might never be the same. He was by all measures a normal healthy 6 month old that was reaching all his milestones. He was sitting, rolling over, saying da, ma, up, focused on objects and people, in short everything a healthy 6 month old baby should be doing.
